In an attempt to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which threatened to overwhelm the nation's healthcare system, government officials at national, state and local levels have declared states of emergency and encouraged or required extreme social-distancing practices, as well as the closure of many businesses, stores and restaurants. Current federal guidelines, including a recommendation to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, have been adopted at various levels -- sometimes as mandatory orders. In some places, residents have been ordered to stay home.

Therefore, we have canceled all church activities. However, we are making efforts so you can stay in contact with your church. Very soon, Pastor Brown will be bringing his sermons via YouTube. There are already over a years worth of his sermons in audio. Additional resources will be implemented so you can stay in touch, up to date on events and to continue your spiritual growth.

There are many resources available on the church's website. We encourage you to take advantage of them to strength and uplift you. Continue to read God's Word and be in prayer.

Pray for our world, our leaders, and health professionals, as well as our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.— Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Cross City web site. We're pleased to provide you with information about our church, its beliefs, mission and ministries. You will also find many resources to encourage you in your relationship with the Saviour of all men, Jesus Christ.

And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
